Mia Goth’s name has quickly become synonymous with the macabre, eccentric, and dark roles she takes on. With the occasional exception, her streak playing mesmerising horror queens has been largely unbroken, and she has honed her craft in the horror genre so effectively that in her short career she’s already become known as an horror icon.
Mia Goth is perhaps best known for playing Maxine (and Pearl) in director Ti West’s slasher film series, X. In the third and final instalment, MaXXXine, she plays as an adult film actress trying to break through into the Hollywood mainstream in the 1980s while being stalked by a killer.

After getting her first role in Lars von Trier’s 2013 film Nymphomaniac, it seems Mia Goth’s career was destined to go down an eccentric path. After holding her own against the likes of Willem Dafoe in Nymphomaniac, she went on to star in Stephen Fingleton 2015 sci-fi post-apocalyptic thriller The Survivalist, taking on her first leading role and more than proving she was up to the task. She then went on to appear in Gore Verbinski’s 2016 psychological thriller A Cure for Wellness, before going on to star as a student opposite Dakota Johnson and Tilda Swinton in Luca Guadagnino’s 2018 remake of the classic horror film Suspiria.
In 2020, Mia Goth proved she wasn’t just a horror actress when she starred opposite Anya Taylor-Joy in an adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel Emma. There she convincingly played Harriet Smith, Emma’s innocent and insecure best friend who’s life becomes the target of Emma’s meddling.
In 2022, Mia Goth got the breakthrough role in Ti West’s X, which solidified her reputation as one of the big horror stars of the 21st century so far. The film is the first in a slasher trilogy series in which Goth plays Maxine, an adult film actress who witnesses a horrific massacre at a farm in rural Texas in 1979. In the film, Goth also plays the much older farm owner and perpetrator Pearl — a role she went on to play again in the second instalment and prequel film, titled Pearl, which delved into the villain’s backstory. In the third and final instalment in the trilogy, MaXXXine, Goth once again plays the adult film star Maxine, now on a path to fame in Hollywood while trying to leave the memory of that Texas massacre behind her.
